I think Abraham didn’t get to the area until about 4000 years ago (so 5000 years after this village!!) I have no idea what the condition of this area was when Abraham found it - I suppose it is described in the Bible. But a lot can happen in 5000 years - especially back then!

An interesting article at the link. It looks like they even got the highway built! (Elevated above the dig.)

Since it is close to Jerusalem, Melchizedek was priest-king of a thriving kingdom there.

Well, I imagine the place was a bit dusty and the Motza balls were stale.
